Madness crawled up his spine. Just one stroke inside her. To feel that warmth.
Her dark eyes widened, and the naked need there had to match his own. She dug into his shoulders. “Shane. The condoms.”
It was on the tip of his tongue to beg. To ask her to take him without it. Would this finally break the numbness? If he got inside her with no barriers?
He shook his head to fight off the gut-deep longing and reached with his significantly longer arms. He ripped the box open and split the packaging with his teeth. Protection for her. For him. He obviously needed it even more than for its intended use.
He snapped it on and sank into her. The sun beat down on his shoulders. He slid out but kept the tip of himself inside her. Her bra still covered her, and her panties were still on, even if they were skewed to the side. He reached behind his head and tugged his shirt up.
She smoothed her hands up his belly to his chest.
He stopped when she rose and the cross of his rosary slid forward to swing between them. Her nails bit into his skin, and the tent of his shirt put them into a weird little cocoon. She grinned up at him as the sun filtered through the waffle texture of his shirt.
Simple as that, the ice inside him melted a little. She pushed his shirt the rest of the way off and nudged the rosary aside to get to his nipple. He cupped the back of her head and slid home again. She clasped around his cock and locked her ankles behind his back.
Her slight little body was more muscular than he realized. She grasped his shoulders and hauled herself up until he fell back on his butt. With his jeans still half on and a lap full of Kendall, he barked out a laugh, then a groan as she took him deeper.
“There.” She slid forward and back, taking him on her own terms. “I knew there was a smile to be found inside you.”
He hid his grin in her neck and swiped his tongue behind her ear. She vised him, and he groaned. He unhooked her bra, wanting to feel her against his skin. If he couldn’t have the most fundamental part of them skin to skin, he would have the rest.
She looked around, then unwound her arms long enough to get the bra off.
Her hair was pure sunshine and as carefree as her smile as it bounced around her shoulders. She was the fun and light he’d been missing for so long. Her head tipped back to the sun, and she rolled her hips. His brain might have thrown a pause in the clawing need to come. But his body had other plans.
He didn’t want to let go of the sunshine in his arms.
He gripped her hips and drove into her as he felt the burn of his release. He maneuvered his hand between them. She pushed it away and returned his grip to her ass.
“I want to see you come inside me, Shane.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he jerked her harder into his hips. She slid her hand up along the back of his skull to the top and latched her mouth to his just as he came. In his head it was her name he chanted as he lost himself in her.

Kendall dropped back onto the blanket. The decadent feel of sunlight on her breasts and a man still buried between her thighs had her laughing up to the sky. Shane’s hand spanned her hip bones, the heel of his hand rubbing lightly just above where they were still joined.
She closed her eyes, enjoying the softness of a lover.
She’d never had a lover.
She’d had boyfriends, and she’d had a few one-night stands.
But never had a man who was only worried about her pleasure. As gruff as Shane was, when they were naked, he honed that intensity into making sure she came her damn brains out. She was used to the men from Winchester Falls and the occasional traveler. A bounce, mutual pleasure sometimes, an orgasm if she was lucky. But mostly it was the contact of a person she’d longed for. And disappointment had almost always made her wonder if it was all worth it.
This was more than that.
It might not be forever, but it was hers for now. It had been so long since she had something that was just hers. Nothing that focused on responsibility and the needs of others. It was so strange to simply be.
She groaned as his thumb slid between them. “Shane.”
“I was afraid you fell asleep.”
She blinked her eyes open. The sun had disappeared behind the tallest of the mountains of Yosemite. Shane’s far too serious eyes settled on her. The anger was missing, and his ridiculously wide shoulders seemed to be less tense. She smiled and slowly undulated her hips. “It’s tempting.”
The burnished gold of the centers of his eyes seemed to glow in the cool forest color that rimmed his irises. He truly had the most beautiful eyes. His thumb traced wide circles around her sensitive clit.
She groaned and tried to escape his touch. Her nerve endings had to be blown out at this point. “I don’t think I could come again.”
